The final fortress surrendered

[otumay]

Hi,

Just returned from a ten-day trip to the North Aegean coast of Turkey, a place named by Herodotus as Eolia, the Land of Winds. We stayed in an authentic village hotel and visited places of natural or historical importance. What made this trip unique was the surrender of my last Sigma camera to my wife. She used the sd Quattro H with 18-35 Art and simply loved it. I used the SD15 and SD1 Merrill with 24 Art, 18-300 C and 70 Art.

Joking aside, I enjoy sharing my passion with my wife in spite of a subtle competition between us. I include some shots from this trip.

I enjoyed looking at these photos. Regarding the one with Mytiline in the background - my father came from there.
